Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Jackson’s American Series Soloist SL2 DX is a right-handed, USA-made electric guitar with an alder body and a neck-through, graphite-reinforced three-piece maple neck. Its ebony fingerboard carries 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets on a 12–16-inch compound radius, pairing a more curved area near the nut with a flatter upper register. A Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 bridge humbucker and ’59 SH-1N neck humbucker feed a five-position switch with coil-splitting options. Floyd Rose 1500 hardware, locking tuners, and a locking nut complete the setup; a foam core case is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fast solo passages, wide bends, and detailed chord work across the compound-radius fingerboard.
- Using dives and pull-ups with the Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo.
- Playing on dim stages where Luminlay side dots improve fingerboard visibility.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players, as this is a right-handed model.
